Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The last test.

It sounded dangerous, so Mu Xi suggested going on her own. Even if she wasn't the original owner, Han Yinfeng wouldn't be responsible for anything related to the original owner.

Han Yinfeng smiled at her gently, "If you had come forward, it wouldn't have been a distraction. Their target is you."

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment. So many things had happened in that short period of time that her mind was spinning and she didn't know how to refute him.

Han Yinfeng could see that she was worried about him, but he didn't know what to say or do because he had no better ideas.

"Don't worry, my lady. I'll be fine. I swear to you." Han Yinfeng said softly, "I'll be back in seven days at most, five at least."

Mu Xi had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The original owner was most likely skilled in martial arts, and was trained since childhood as the successor of Feiming Valley. Even if he was not very skilled ten years ago, he was still better than Mu Xi is now.

She thought, what a pity she was not the original owner.

Mu Xi was a little annoyed.

She had experienced this kind of emotion before, but it usually passed in a flash. This time, this negative emotion seemed to haunt her.

When Mu Xi came to her senses, she was stunned for a moment, then decided to shake it off and not think about anything for the time being. At least the current situation had not reached the point where it was irreversible, right?

Han Yinfeng left Mingyu to her and said that if she needed anything, she could ask Mingyu. He also gave Mu Xi some silver.

Mu Xi felt an indescribable strange feeling in her senses.

In this special historical context, she and Han Yinfeng seemed to be the opposite of each other.

Before Han Yinfeng left, he saw that she was still in a daze. He thought that no matter how special Mu Xi was, she was still a woman, and she might feel embarrassed to use a man's money. He was also worried that she would not accept it, but Mu Xi did not refuse.

If it were in the past, he would appear pleased but secretly sneer at it, but now he is only pleased.

Han Yinfeng frowned, without time to think about it, said goodbye to Mu Xi again, and told Mingyu to take good care of her.

He changed his clothes, changed his appearance, hid his tracks and left, with only Ying Zhang following him.

"Sir, based on Mingyu and I's observations of Madam Mu over the past few days, she seems to know nothing..."

Before Ying Zhang and Ming Yu appeared in front of Mu Xi, they secretly suspected that Mu Xi was a cunning and scheming woman.

I think it is because of this that Han Yinfeng has not been able to obtain the Heart Refining Bug from Mu Xi for such a long time, and he has not even found out any useful information about the whereabouts of that thing.

But after being in close contact with Mu Xi during this period, they increasingly felt that she really knew nothing.

They all knew very well that this possibility was even more terrifying than Mu Xi's cunning and scheming.

After all, how can you get the information you want from someone who knows nothing?

According to reasonable speculation, Mu Xi had escaped the disaster by following her mother's attendant out of Feiming Valley. It's impossible that the Heart Refining Bug wasn't in their possession. The attendant was dead, and Mu Xi knew nothing...

Ying Zhang looked at Han Yinfeng carefully. Han Yinfeng thought of what Mu Xi had said to him the day before.

"I've thought about it carefully. If the thing you mentioned really existed, why didn't my adoptive mother use it before she passed away? Why didn't my mother use it when Feiming Valley was in trouble?"

Why? Naturally, knowing the odds of winning are slim, they want to leave the last bit of chance of winning to the person with the best chance of making a comeback.

…

This is the last test.

If Mu Xi was hiding something from him, she would definitely do something after confirming that he had left. Han Yinfeng had already instructed Mingyu on what to do.

"Do you know? How much do you know? It will be confirmed in a few days." After Han Yinfeng finished speaking, Ying Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

But he had a short memory, and wasn't as good at reading people's expressions as Mingyu. Ying Zhang immediately asked Han Yinfeng, "Sir, do you want Madam Mu to know, or do you want her not to know?"

Han Yinfeng came back to his senses and looked at him. Ying Zhang realized that he had made a big mistake and shouldn't have asked this question.

He smiled awkwardly, "Look at what I'm asking... Young Master naturally hopes that Madam Mu will know the whereabouts of the Heart Refining Bug, so that Young Master can quickly escape from this predicament."

Han Yinfeng's long eyelashes drooped slightly, his face was full of gloom, and he remained silent without saying a word.

Although leaving was a test, what he told Mu Xi when he wanted to divert some people was not a lie.

Ji Lian must now know that someone took Mu Xi away in advance.

If he were more capable, he might have found out that this matter was related to Beiqu Pavilion.

Ji Lian is a difficult and suspicious person. Unless you take action personally, you won't be able to lead him astray.

The time Han Yinfeng and Mu Xi had spoken about was half true and half false. According to his plan, he would be back in three days at most. He planned to deal with the people over there, and after returning, he would hide for a few days and keep an eye on Mu Xi's movements.

After deciding not to let herself get bogged down in worries, Mu Xi felt much more relaxed.

Apart from being a little worried about Han Yinfeng, she had nothing to worry about. While eating and drinking and feeling bored, Mu Xi asked Mingyu to find her some storybooks to kill time.

Mu Xi planned to wait for seven days.

In her opinion, Han Yinfeng might have a good family background, but apart from his background, he was young and had little experience. More importantly, after spending some time with her, the abilities Han Yinfeng had demonstrated did not seem to be enough...

With the sound of rain outside the window, Mu Xi blinked and tried to get rid of the worries in her mind. Mingyu was watching beside her and knew that she was worried about Han Yinfeng again.

Mingyu was no longer surprised that he would stop and stare blankly every few pages of the storybook without noticing.

He thought that Mu Xi did not seem to be pretending to be crazy or stupid, and seemed to be really ignorant of nothing. At the moment, it seemed that the other party had no intention of getting rid of him and taking action on his own.

Mingyu lowered his head, and couldn't help but worry. What would the master do if Mu Xi didn't know anything? Even if they had to torture her, she would have to know the information they wanted.

Mu Xi put the notebook in her hand on the table, interrupting Mingyu's thoughts.

He looked over and Mu Xi looked over. Ming Yu swallowed his saliva and smiled at Mu Xi, looking like an obedient person waiting for orders at any time.

I don’t know if Han Yinfeng is doing well or not, and Mu Xi can’t concentrate on reading the story.

Mingyu estimated the time and asked, "Are you hungry, my lady? It's time for dinner. What would you like to eat?"

Mu Xi was not hungry yet, but thinking that Ming Yu might be hungry after saying that, she agreed and let him make his own arrangements.

"Do you want it delivered to the room?"

Mu Xi thought for a moment and said, "No, I want to eat outside."

For dinner, she chose a table in the corner and asked Mingyu to sit next to her.

Mingyu had refused before but failed, so she didn't refuse this time.

Mu Xi asked him about Han Yinfeng's fighting ability during their casual chat. Ming Yu thought for a moment and replied, "The young master is naturally much more powerful than me."

Realizing that he was beating around the bush in answering such a simple question, Mu Xi didn't ask any other questions. She thought to herself that although Ming Yu and Ying Zhang said they treated her and Han Yinfeng the same, they actually only obeyed Han Yinfeng.

Mu Xi didn't care. This was human nature and she understood it.

After chatting for a few more words, their attention was attracted by the new guests.

It was like a young man from a wealthy family went out, accompanied by several servants, and walked into the store in the rain, looking very embarrassed.

When checking in, the waiter asked the guest where his wife was, and the guest got angry, and it was obvious that he had a bad temper.

It was obviously not a very offensive question, but the man started arguing with the waiter angrily, saying that his wife had just passed away and that he had made him sad by asking this question.

The waiter was eloquent and did not lose the upper hand. The man started crying again with his face covered, crying and making a fuss after just a few words.

"What a shrew." Mingyu muttered softly. Mu Xi glanced at him. Mingyu collected his thoughts and dared not to comment again. He buried his head in eating.

Mu Xi watched the fun openly like everyone else.

She remembered that every time they stayed in the hotel, she was the one who negotiated with the shopkeeper and the waiter. If a man went out without his wife or other female companion, it would be more troublesome. She had not realized this problem at all before, and her mind was on escaping and accepting her new identity.

Now she is not with Han Yinfeng...

Mu Xi frowned slightly and told herself that she was worrying too much. Han Yinfeng was a man of the world and had plenty of ways to solve the problem.

Moreover, this young man had such an embarrassing conflict with the store owner because of his own temper. If he had been more gentle and polite, some people might have talked about him in private, but it would not have become so ugly in public.

Finally, the shopkeeper came out to mediate and said that he could give the guests a cheaper room rate.

The man was still crying and threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, saying that he had plenty of money, but the waitress was disrespectful to him and insisted that the shopkeeper punish her before he would give up.

The shopkeeper didn't know what to say, so he punished the waitress to clean the stables for a few days, and also told her not to appear in front of the guest and annoy him while he was staying at the hotel.

The man still refused to give in, and the shopkeeper kept saying nice things to him.

Mu Xi lost interest, turned to look at Ming Yu, and asked him softly: "In your opinion, is there anything suspicious about this person?"

Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then understood.

It turned out that Mu Xi thought that this person's appearance and troublemaking had something to do with her.

...It is true that everyone is afraid of the grass.

"In my opinion, no." Mingyu answered in a low voice, and Mu Xi felt relieved.

The rain was still falling, and they planned to sit for a while after dinner before going back to their room. Unexpectedly, before they could leave, the person who had caused trouble came over and seemed to want to sit at this table as well.

Only then did Mu Xi realize that because it was dinner time and the weather was bad, there were no empty tables.

She stood up and tried to give way, but was stopped by the man.

"Is this my wife's husband?"

Mingyu suppressed his disgust and didn't take action. He saw that the way the man looked at Mu Xi was completely different from the one who had been throwing a tantrum before.

His eyes were surprisingly bright now.

"No, my husband has gone to visit his relatives, and I am just a servant."

Mingyu said this with a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"Oh... just a servant."

Mingyu frowned. Muxi raised his foot to leave without saying a word, but was stopped by the man again.
